Art-in-Science Contest
Visualization of data is a powerful way to convey complex information. In the contest, submissions of artwork that express scientific principles, concepts, ideas, processes and/or structures will be evaluated. The contest is not limited to micrographs or images; any printable artistic representation of scientific data is relevant.
Judging will be based on both scientific significance and artistic impact of the work. All images should have a connection to your scientific research.

Art-in-Science image submission information:

1. All images are required to be electronically submitted as .tiff, .tif, .eps or .png file by October 7, 2022 (Friday). Please use this link to submit your work.
2. All images submitted must include a title (max.100 char).
3. A short description (50 words or less) of the technique used, the object that was imaged, and any special conditions should also be provided
3. You will be communicated about the display of your work.

Awards
Prizes will be awarded at the symposium for several categories.
